Picket Font Family

Picket is a family of very narrow sans serif fonts designed for use in display typography. They feature an enormous x-height; the lowercase letters are almost as tall as fonts’ capitals. In each of the family’s six weights, the letterforms are drawn with monolinear strokes. These decisions, combined with the general compressedness of the typeface, create a strong vertical-stroke rhythm. Indeed, this verticality and its repetition is underscored by the family’s name: Picket (as in a ‘picket fence’).
